inner transition elements are those who have their last 3 shells incompletely filled. The f block elements have their last 3 shells incompletly filled . That is why they are also called as inner transition elements.

For both s- and p-blocks, their outer shells are not completely filled with electrons. They follow normal rules for filling the orbitals.

These s- and p-block elements get the nearest inert gas configuration by loosing or gaining of electrons.

In s- and p-block elements, all the elements down the group have a relation of having same no. of electrons in their outer most shell and represents similar electronic configuration. Hence s- and p-blocks elements are known as representative elements.
